I realised I haven’t posted for quite a while. Well, since I’m waiting for Jean to log off the other computer, I shall use this time to type.

After getting back from church camp last week, I suffered some sort of “jet lag” for about 3 days. I couldn’t help but spend most of the time sleeping or trying not to fall asleep while trying to study. I went for the scholarship interview last Friday, which went pretty alright. I tried my best, but I would be able to accept it if I don’t get it. Frankly, even if I do, I’m not sure what I’d do about it yet..

Ok Jean’s done, I’ve got to go. Exams start on Monday. Argh!

This week is Week 11 – Yes, not the June holidays yet. I’ve been going back to school every day for extra lessons/Focus (concentration) camp. I’ve been doing quite a bit of studying this week, in preparation for common tests.

Yesterday, I performed with the rest of the string ensemble at The Arts House for the Live! Singapore Showcase. I didn’t know it was a high-profile international event till recently.. But anyway it wasn’t too late. It’s the performance I mentioned last week – the one with iPad2s and electronic music. The “game” was fun and though I didn’t manage to land a turn on getting to play the iPad2 during the actual performance, it was a fun experience rehearsing/playing anyway. The music is quite atonal, all the way till the second last chord – the last chord being tonal to show the audience that we can actually play in tune. Chance music can be quite interesting, because it keeps you on our toes during every run through – you never know what might happen. Ah isn’t that so much like life… Ok I shall stop attempting to be philosophical.

This holiday seems so short – there’s so much work I need to accomplish within this month. I think this feeling is going to be pretty much the same until I finally clear the final IB exams at the end of the year. Part of me looks forward to that… But, I’m really enjoying school life, so no, I don’t really want it to end yet.

Now, off to sleep..
